A Cozy Lunch

It is rainy, foggy, extremely windy, and 45 degrees here today. My solution to the chill?

I warmed myself up with a spicy bowl of Tarka dahl for lunch. Dhal is served at almost every meal in India. It is a staple food and there are many versions of this dish. It is such an easy, delicious and relatively fast meal to make. I used some of my dried Red Cayenne peppers leftover from last year's garden which made it extra delicious.
